a slight effort of the will causes this appear.
ance to be reversed, and ABCD seems to
be the back face, while X comes to the front,
the apparent position of the solid changing
at the same time. A little practice will en-
able one to cause it to change sides at will;
and n peculiar sensation is experienced Us the
figure apparently changes its position, as if
endowed with life.
1t is rather difficult, says Science News, to
briefly explain this illusion, which depends
upon the laws of perspective. When the face
ABCD appears to be i'll front, the block
appears to be resting in a natural position,
and consequently tue eye at first sees it that
way; but when the sides are reversed the
block seems to be tipped backward against
the action of gravity, and an effort of the
will is needed to make it assume that posi-
ton, although the lines of perspective indi.
cate both positions equally well. In order to
prevent this confusion i'll drawings of crys-
tails, etc., the back lines are usually drawn
dotted or broken, to indicate their position.

A Food for Cage birds.

A universal paste good for all sorts of cage
birds, and that will keep for quite n while,
may be made as follows: Bake some wheat
bread made without salt; when it is stale,
put it into an oven from which n baking has
just been removed and let it remain till the
oven cools. Then pound it fine. To feed
this, mix a teaspoonful of it with three times
MS much warm milk. Be sure that the milk
does not boil. For birds that eat insects, a
few ants eggs, meal worms, flies, etc, may
be mixed with it.

Fixedness of Character.

About the most serious thing in life is the
fact that character, in vice or virtue, is conf
ing into a state which is fixed md abiding.
AS the result of repeated choices, it comes to
be a habit i'll which at last one is inflexibly
held to what he chooses. In his self determi-
nation u man determines himself, and that,
beyond any disposition, and virtually be-
yond any power, to be other than he is

A farmer informs the department of agri-

swine flesh in his fields, apparently dropped
there by crows. which congregate in large

Budding and Grating.

Next to planting young trees in the
spring, preparation ought to be made
for grating the natural apple trees and
other bearers of worthless fruit to bt
found on almost every farm. The fol
lowing schedule of the modes of propa
cation adapted to different trees and
fruit bearing shrubs will be found Of
value to novices:
Apple and pear, budding and graft.
ing.
Cherry mostly by budding. but sue.
ceeds well by grating, if done very
early.
Peach and nectarine, by budding
only, at the north often succeeds by
grating in the south.
Plum, by grating and also by bud
ding, it the stocks are thrifty.
Apricot, mostly by budding; some.
times by grating.
Almond, by budding, and sometimes
by grating.
Chestnut by early graftinr.
Walnut, by early grating and by
annual budding.
Ounce, by cutting and grating.
Filbert, by suckers and layers. The
finer sorts may be grated on the more
common, which reduces the size of the
bush and makes them more prolific.
Grape, by layers and cuttings; and,
in rare instances, grating is advan-
tageously employed for new or rare
sorts, on old or wild stock, producing
rapid growth and early bearing.
Raspberry and blackberry, by suck.
ers, cutting of roots and layers.
Gooseberry and currant, by cutting
and sometimes by layers.
To insure good work one must have
sharp tools and good wax. Ben. Per.
ley Poore, in The american Cultiva
tor, who approves of the above sched-
ule, says to make the grating wax by
heating and mixing equal parts OF resin
tallow and yellow beeswax. A coat of
this wax, about one-tweutieth of ar
inch thich, spread over muslin, calico
or flexible paper, makes an excellent
covering for outdoor grating, or
spread half as thick, is we'll adapted to
root grating.
